Megadethin Dave Mustaine työskentelemässä uuden projektin parissa

Yhdysvaltalaisen thrash metal -legenda Megadethin nokkamies Dave Mustaine on antanut Cry Of The Wolf -blogille haastattelun, jossa hän kertoo työskenetelevänsä parhaillaan uuden projektin parissa. Vaikka Megadethin viimeisin ”Dystopia” -albumi julkaistiin vasta alkuvuodesta, Mustaine kertoo bändin aloittaneen jo uuden materiaalin työstämisen:

“We are actually working feverishly with the hard drives to catalog all the song ideas we have. To start working on separating them into new parts and so forth and so forth. We have a crazy opportunity of a project that I am working on. We have a lot of songs for that I am working on. I cannot give you more details but as soon as I can, I will. Start to record with these guys.  Got festivals in Asia and Europe coming up. God willing we will finally get down to South Africa next year.”

Hän kertoi myös uusimman levyn lyriikoiden teemasta:

“Definitely a reflection of the time we are living in right now. Looking at society and every day it’s on the news, someone is stabbed, shot or blowing up a cop or a school. When I was growing up there was honor amongst the people that fought. You would never think of shooting into a hospital or a school. Now they do that with no remorse. I think about combat as a martial artist and you would touch gloves before you fight. Now they don’t do that. So much animosity out there. We are swimming in an era of just hate. I try to stay upbeat and positive. My twitter feed is unusually upbeat. I think that is because I do not immediately respond. Some of our international fans might not communicate the same way we do so before you fly off the handle you have to take that into account.”
